<body>
<p>On January 20, 2016, FEMA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking comment on a Public Assistance deductible concept.&nbsp; The ANPRM provided a general description of the concept that many commenters found insufficient to provide meaningful comment.&nbsp; In an effort to offer the public a more detailed deductible concept upon which to provide additional feedback, the Agency has decided to issue a second ANPRM that includes a methodology for calculating deductible amounts based on a combination of each State&rsquo;s fiscal capacity and disaster risk, a proposed credit structure to reward State for undertaking resilience building activities, and a description of how the program would be implemented.</p>
